The endocrinologist deals with the system, which includes a group of glands and organs that control the release and regulation of hormones, called the endocrine system. These specialists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases in the thyroid, pancreas, pituitary, adrenal glands, reproductive organs and other endocrine glands.

Endocrinologists evaluate, treat and follow patients’ hormonal problems and metabolism. These diseases include diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, tumors of the pituitary gland, and many diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome.

Endocrinologists evaluate patients’ hormone levels and metabolic function through laboratory tests, imaging tests, and physical exams. These specialists treat patients’ endocrine system-related health problems and provide regular follow-up to prevent disease progression.
